m - . L
RETUBNIh AVIATORS ARE ALL
IN FAVOR OF
IDEA
Every former air service man, some
of them America's best, who has been -
interviewed on the organization of an
Aero club has voiced his hearty ap-
p1tal of the plan and is anxious to
see It materialize.
George S. Hodge, '19E, who served
in the naval air service And is credited
with sinking a U-boat, said, "I think
it a mighty fine idea. Eastern schools
ar starting such clubs and we mustt
not let Michigan get behind."I
George Ohrstrom, '19L, who saw
oversees service in the army air serv-
ice is "absolutely in favor of it" and
believes it is something that should be
pushed at Michigan.
Charles Keller, '21E, of the marine
air service said, "Great, I'll be at the
meeting."
C. 4. Smith of the army air service,
better known to the campus for his
football jbuity, offered, "I think it
very fine; I will support it."
Bruce Millar, city editor of the
Daily, a former member of the army
air service, is also enthusiastic and
is anxious to see it made 4 succes.

The meeting which is to be held at
7:30 o'clock tonight in the billard
room of the Michigan Union will be
the first chance that the former air
fighters and aeronautical students of
the University have had to get to-
gether.

NO NEED TO BOIL-
CITY WATER NOW
Dr. J. A. Wessinger, city health of-
ficer, stated Wednesday that it was
no longer necessary to boil the city
water before using it for drinking.
"An average rainfall will not con-
taminate the water to such an extent
that the chlorine process, to which it
is subjected, cannot make it safe for
drinking purposes," said Dr. Wessin-
ger. "It is necessary to have an un-
usual rainfall, such as there was about
10 days ago, then one and one-half
inches of water fell, to contaminate the
water to this extent. This only oc-
curs about once or twice in the
course of a year," he went on to say.
It is expected that when the pump-
ing station at the Steer firm, which
is capable of delivering 4,000,000 gal-
lons every 24 hours, comes into use
that it will no longer be necessary to
use the river water, as the daily con-
sumption, under the meter system,
would only be about 2,000,000.

des Dames, and north of Soisson, near
Juvigny. Twenty of the 45 members
of the unit the Croix de Guerre. One

wings of Ann Arbor.
All-Michigan Unit
Ambulance unit 591 was the only
All-Michigan unit in the field for any
length of time. It was organized at
the University in May, 1917, and sent
to Allentown, Pa., with two other am-
bulance units from Michigan. Unit
591, was, however, the only one of the
three which reached France in time
to see service.
On Oct. 18, 1917, the section arrived
at the front and served in the Ar-
gonne sector between Hill 304 and Le
Morte Homme (Dead Man's Hill), at1
the extreme left of the Verdun sector.-
In February, 1918, the unit went "en
repos" with the fourth Division of the
second Army corps of the French
army for three weeks and then moved
up ahead of Verdun, where the divi-
sion held the line around and includ-;
ing Donamont and Vaux. Here the1
"unit served steadily until September,t

1918, and was under fire constantly.
Aisne Front Next
In September the division left Ver-
dun for the Aisne front north of Sois-
sons and engaged in the terrific fight-

"ITALY MUST NOT BE GIVEN FIUME" SAYS
WILSU IN ADRIATIC QUESTION MANIFESTO
'BULLETIN
Paris, April 23.-The Italian Vice-Admiral Thaon di Revel, former chief
of staff, has left Paris for Rome. General Diaz, commander-in-chief of the
Italian army. will leave tonight, it is announced.
(By Associated Press)
Paris, April 23.-In a statement issued by President Wilson today
explaining his position on the Adriatic questeion he declared that Fiume can-
not become part of Italy. The president points out that every condition con-
cerning the Adriatic settlement has been changed since Italy entered the
war upon the promises of the Pact of London. He notes that since the
dismemberment of the Austro-Hungarian empire, new states have been
created for which Flume is the natural outlet to the sea.
The President also contends that the strategic necessity pleaded in be-
half of Italy's claim to the Dalmatian islands no longer prevails, as the
Austrian naval menace has ceased to exist.
Certain Definite Principles
In issuing the statement, President Wilson let it be known that he
called attention to the fact that there are certain definite principles which
the peoples have accepted as a basis for a lasting peace.
The United States delegation simply recalled this in order that there
should be no deviation from these principles.
Private Understanding
"When Italy entered the war," the President said, "she did so upon the
basis of a definite private understanding with Great Britain and France
now known as the Pact of London.
"Since that time the whole face of circumstances has been altered.
Many other powers, great and small, have entered the struggle with no
knowledge of that private understanding.
"The Austro-Hungarian empire, then the enemy of Europe, and at whose
expense the Pact of London was to be kept in the event of victory, has gone
to pieces and no longer exists. Not only that, but the several parts of that
empire, it is agreed now by Italy and all her associates, are to be erected
into independent states and associated in a League of Nations, not with
those who were recently our enemies, but with Italy herself and the powers
that stood with Italy in the great war for liberty.
To Establish Liberty
"We are to establish their liberty as well as our own. They are to
be among the smaller states whose interests are henceforth to be safeguard-
ed as scrupuously as the interests of the most powerful states.
"The war was ended, moreover, by proposing an armistice and peace
which should be founded on certain clearly defined principles which set up
.a new order of right and justice. Upon those principles the peace with
Germany has been conceived and formulated. Upon those principles it will
be executed.
/ One Basis of Peace
"We cannot ask the great body of powers to propose and effect peace
with Austria and establish a new basis of independence and right in the
states which originally constituted the Austro-Hungarian enmpire and in
the states of the Balkan group on principles of another kind. We must apply
the same principles to the settlement of Europe in those quarters that we-
have applied in the peace with Germany. It was upon the explicit avowal of
these principles that the initiative for peace was taken, and upon them
the whole structure of peace must rest.
Flume Not For Italy
"If those principles are to be adhered to, Fiume must serve as the out-
let of the com crce, not of Italy, but of land to the north and northeast of
that port: Hungary, Bohemia, Roumania, and the states of the new Jugo-
Slav group. To assign Flume to Italy would be to create the feeling that we
have deliberately put the port, upon which all those countries chiefly depend
for their access to the Mediterranean, in the hands of the powers of which it
did not form an integral part and whose sovereignity if set there must in-
evitably seem foreign, not domestic or identified with the commercial and
industrial life of the regions which the port should serve. It was for
that reason, no doubt, the Fiume was not included in the Pact of London
but definitely assigned to the Croatians."
Wheat Premier Orlando received President Wilson's statement this aft-
ernoon he immediately called a meeting of the Italian delegation. The meet-
ing was to prepare a statement on the situation to be addressed to the Italian
people.

LATE WIRE BRIEFS
(By Associated Press)
Tokio, April 23. -The impression
exists in well informed quarters here
that Japan will Join the League of
Nations even if the racial clause of
the league convenant is finally reject-
ed by the peace conference. This was
brought out in answer to special news
despatches from Paris asserting Japan
had informed the other delegates to
the conference that she would decline
to enter the league if the racial clause
was not adopted.
Copenhagen, April 23.-A state of
siege has been proclaimed in the im-
portant German port of Hamburg and
the suburbs of Alatona and Wands-
beck, according to . advices received
here from Hamburg. In consequence
of the disorders the police have re-
ceived orders to shoot persons carry-
ing arms, and fighting against the na-
tional police.

NEW CHILDREN'S WARD
FILLED TO CPAC!TY
SOCIAL SERVICE IS UNDER WAY
AT HOMOEOPATHIC
HOSPITAL
Immediate use has been put to the
new children's ward of the Homoeop-
athic hospital.
Children ranging from infancy to
the eighth grade of the public schools
are sent here for all kinds of treat-
ment, both medical and surgical. Every
bed is now occupied and a waiting list
has been formed pending the arrival
of more beds. Dr. C. B. Stouffer of
the University Health service is in di-
rect charge of the new ward.
Dean Hinsdale Favors Plan
Welfare work, established through
the efforts of the Homoeopathic guild,
is being c rried on in connection with
the work'of the hospital. The guild
has the sympathy and hearty co-opera-
tion of Dean Hinsdale of the Homoeop-
atbic Medical school and is composed
of many influential Ann Arbor women
who are interested in the work being
done.
The welfare staff is not yet com-
plete, but those already on it are: Mrs.
H. S. Mallory, general welfare direc-
tor; the hospital receiving officer,
whose name is to be announced later;
Miss Genevieve Reed, supervisor of
nurses; Miss R. Dible, head nurse in
the maternity ward; Mrs. C. V. Kent,
representative of the guild; Mrs. John
MacGregor, representative of the Bap-
tist circle of Kings' Daughters; and
Miss Ruble Mann, director of the ed-
ucational work.
Children Educated
Education of the children while they
are in the'hospital is one of the prin-
cipal duties of the Welfare club. Les-
sons are held during the day for chil-
dren from the first through the sev-
enth grade. Miss Mann is directing the
work under the supervision of Prof.
Allen S. Whitney of the University's
educational department. Besides tu-
toring pupils in the grade school so
that they will not lose out while con-
fined in the hospital, elementary work
is taken up in a kindergarten and sub-
kindergarten for very small children.
Vocational Training
Scientific recreation with a view to
vocational training is also managed
by the Welfare club. Both the boys
and girls are interested in gardening,
chicken-keeping and birdhouse build-
ing, which is being taught them by stu-
dents of the University who have vol-
unteered to help the club in this man-
ner. It has been found that children
are much more contented and recover
faster if some such form of amuse-
ment is offered whichskeeps them busy
and is educational as well..
The Baptist circle of Kings' Daugh-
ters takes charge of the religious pro-
gram on Sundays. Ite isalso carrying
out a course of 10 lessons in bird
study for the more advanced children.
Works for Girls, Too

Recreational and educational volun-
teer work among the girls is being
done by Miss Huldah Bancroft, secre-
tary of the Y. W. C. A. Among the
boys, the work is supervised by J. E.

DEAN EFFINGER SPEAKS
TO CEACLE FRANCAIS
Sketching brieny tne works of Vic-
torien Sardou and outlining in more.
deatil his play "Nos Intimes!" which
is to be given here by the Cercle
Francais on May 1, Dean John R. Ef-
finger gave the last lecture of the
year before the Cercle in English.
Dean Effinger said that "Nos In-
times!" may really be divided into
two parts. First the plot, which is a
love story, and secondly the charact-
ers which really make the play. "Nos
Intimes !", with an exclamation point
after the title has the intention of un-
derlining the word "Intimes," is a
story dealing with supposedly intimate
friends who are struggling under the
weight of gratitude.
Sardou wrote the play in 1861 and it
met with immediate success, in fact so
great that Sardou. fainted after the
initial performance. He also wrote
plays which were spectacles more than
any thing else, one of these being set
in Petrograd and Paris, another in
Italy, and still anotheV in Bizantium
at the time of Justinian. These plays
depend upon scenic effects and stage
direction for their success, littletde-
pending upon the words. This is not
the case in "Nos Intimes!", in which
the characters are the most important
part.
Sardou was 30 years old when he
wrote the play. In 1887 he was admitted
to the French academy. This was one
case where a clever playwrite, not a
man of letters, was admitted.
